Board approves Keswick Road ADU; developer to address fire‑code at permit stage
Summary
Raincave Development’s plan to convert an existing in‑law suite into a formal ADU at 139 Keswick Road won board approval after the developer described parking for four cars and said fire‑code and sprinkler issues will be resolved during permitting.
The Planning Board approved a proposal by Raincave Development to convert an existing in‑law suite at 139 Keswick Road into a standalone ADU with its own egress and parking. Eric Rainey, presenting for Raincave, said the property has a double driveway that can fit four vehicles and that the ADU would likely house one to two people.
Board members discussed fire‑code concerns noted at technical review, and Eric confirmed those issues — including sprinklers and smoke/carbon detectors — would be addressed during the building permit phase. With tech‑review notes acknowledged and parking and egress clarified, the board moved and approved the ADU site plan.
The approval permits the conversion to proceed to the building permit stage, where Fire and Building Departments will enforce code compliance prior to occupancy.
